Dura-Grit sanding Products

[John Hollaway]

Recently I've begun thinking about giving the Dura-Grit carbide sanding discs and hand sanding blocks a try. Since they're rather costly I thought I would first inquire as to fellow creeker's experiences with Dura-Grit. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was going to try a couple of the ROS discs but it seems they only come in 5" so I sorta forgot about the idea. I am still curious if anyone has sued them as I might try the hand sanding blocks as well.

Gosh, why would anyone sue someone over some sandpaper? :)

You have apparently seen "Sandpaper gone wild"! :)

Does carbide sandpaper even make sense?

They don't make carbide grinding wheels, like they do from AO, but maybe because of the expense, not because it's not hard enough.

I think the key is how well it is "stuck" to the backer. You are correct I imagine about grinding wheels, tungsten carbide wheels would be very expensive.

3M makes diamond abrasive discs. I know turners use these on stone inlays in place of the more common AO discs. Expensive, but cuts the stone way better and lasts a lot longer.

Maybe you just want to rough them up a little...

Thanks, guys, for all the "helpful" responces.
